So I've been promoting a bizopp on Google for a while now, and have been slapped twice. Both times I just deleted the campaigns and reupped with a new domain name and everything was fine.

Now, for some weird reason when I create a new ad in any of my bizopp campaigns, the URL gets highlighted and I see an error:

At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that promote Data Entry Affiliate Programs. As noted in our advertising terms and conditions, we reserve the right to exercise editorial discretion when it comes to the advertising we accept on our site.

Now, I've noticed this happen before when having the words "Data Entry" in the ad copy, but this time it's saying that my display and destination URLs are invalid because of data entry.

I'm guessing my URL has been flagged but was just curious if anyone else has seen this before. I'm still getting impressions and clicks (but I don't know for how much longer).
 


lol ok then... Anyways, this was promoting one of the google cash free trial bizopps if anyone cares. I'm just going to use a new domain.
 
I just got all my Yahoo Search biz op campaigns slapped. All my shit was editorially removed. Didn't think that was possible. That's some talent right there :)
 
wow...I didn't think Yahoo would go after biz opps. Did you have the word "free trial" in there? I know they just bitch slapped grants..but biz ops? Fuck...what next.

I am surprised they didn't delete the ads...that is what they did to me. And I got the red shit as well.

Nope, didn't use either of those words in the ad copy or the LP. Its pretty easy to get back going again with yahoo, just was surprised is all.
 
i had some paused grant ads i ran for 1 day. They all got removed from yahoo.
the ftc is coming down on them.

google always seemed to hate bizopp even before the ftc shit.
 
I had mine paused too but getting them canned was expected. FTC is cracking down on misleading offers.

As for google hating bizop, I can't blame em. Most appear to be based around google, and users get the impression that it is sponsored by google.

On another note Google 'advertises' adsense for common money making search keywords, and their landing page is a joke. Violates a lot of their own Adwords rules. Of course its their own engine, they can do what they want, but isn't it best to set a good example?
